He was an inch off of Lake Dawson's fingertips from saving the game.
As for Grbac, coaches did things different back then. Starters didn't lose their jobs to injury if they were cleared to play.
I think Belicheat was the first time I saw a starter flat out lose his job to injury, when he kept Brady as the starter and Drew Bledsoe was healthy.
Gannon was on a pretty hot streak while Grbac was out with the collarbone. Should've stuck with Gannon, and then if he faltered, you could put Grbac in there at that point.
I think if Gannon retained that starting job over Grbac, the Chiefs win the Denver game.

that's some shit I remember vividly, when Gannon came in during that game he almost hit Lake Dawson for the winner and it was cold as hell that day. The offense was kinda rolling with Gannon, not putting up anything amazing stat wise but I remember thinking this had to be the year and then marty ****ed it up.
